Parts of Western New York state woke up on Friday to nearly 2 feet (0.6 meter) of 'lake effect' snow, about half of the total accumulations that forecasters say squalls blowing in from Lake Erie could dump on Buffalo and other cities this weekend.
BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov 18 - Parts of Western New York state woke up on Friday to nearly 2 feet of "lake effect" snow, about half of the total accumulations that forecasters say squalls blowing in from Lake Erie could dump on Buffalo and other cities this weekend.
The prospect of up to 4-1/2 feet of powder on the ground by Sunday prompted the National Football League to move the Buffalo Bills' home game against the Cleveland Browns to Detroit.Officials lifted road restrictions, at least temporarily, and instead issued travel advisories in the northern and southern parts of the county, including Buffalo, where about a foot of snow had fallen.
The Buffalo Public Schools district, the state's second-largest serving 32,000 students, canceled all classes and closed offices on Friday. The weather service said 1 feet to 2 feet of snow was expected to pile up in many locations through Sunday, with maximum accumulations likely to exceed 4 feet in or near Buffalo, which lies at the eastern end of Lake Erie.
